Transgender Athletes On Op-Sex Teams? NO!

Critics worry that transgender biological males who identify as women will radically transform women’s sports. Most Americans oppose letting these transgender athletes play on women’s teams, even as House Democrats want to make transgender participation federal law.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that just 28% of American Adults favor allowing transgender students to participate on the sports team of the gender they identify with, letting biological males, for example, play girls’ sports. Fifty-four percent (54%) oppose such a policy, while 18% are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

The survey of 1,000 American Adults was conducted on May 28-29, 2019 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC.
